"Southeast has a really good nursing program in terms of the different clinical experiences they offer. They have faculty who care about you. I feel like Southeast prepared me really well for a career in nursing with a variety of different specialties. It prepared me for graduate school and I felt really prepared when going in for my doctorate. Southeast offered me opportunities for growth as a person, student and professional... It’s a great place to grow as a human being as well as prepare for a future career."
